- In Generation IV, Fearow weighs as much as the male protagonist of the game. It shares this characteristic with Skuntank, Togekiss, Sudowoodo, and Yanma.
- Its sprites from Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald and FireRed and LeafGreen are almost mirror images of each other.
- In Generation III, it was the only Pokémon who could not learn Aerial Ace by leveling up while its pre-evolution could.
Origin
Its appearance may be vaguely based off of the cormorant, or even more closely to that of an anhinga.
Name origin
Fearow's name is a combination of the words fear and sparrow. Its Japanese name can be taken to mean 鬼ドリル, demon drill, although it is worth noting that the first four syllables can be taken to mean 鬼鳥 onidori, demon bird.
In other languages
- German: Ibitak - From Ibis and Attacke (attack).
- French: Rapasdepic - From rapace (predatory) and piquer (to swoop). Effectively translates as "swooping predator".
- Korean: 깨비드릴조 Kkaebideuriljo
- Chinese (Taiwan): 大嘴雀 Dài Zűi Qîao - Means "big-mouthed sparrow".
- Chinese (Hong Kong): 魔雀 Mó Que - Means "monster (or devil) sparrow".
